Economic costs of invasive alien ants worldwide

Elena Angulo et al.

Summary: The study found that invasive ants have massive economic costs, with damage costs accounting for the majority, mainly impacting agriculture, public utilities, and social welfare. The reported costs are mainly concentrated in developed economies such as the USA and Australia, while cost information is lacking for most invaded countries. Therefore, collaboration between managers, practitioners, and researchers is needed to enhance cost reporting of invasive ants, providing important information for decision-making.

Pathogen-mediated natural and manipulated population collapse in an invasive social insect

Edward G. LeBrun et al.

Summary: Boom-bust population dynamics are a common feature of species invasions, but the reasons behind it are usually unexplained. Invasive social insects also experience population declines, but they have been resistant to biological control. This study found a strong association between the collapse of local populations of tawny crazy ants in North America and infection by a microsporidian pathogen. Infected populations declined and even disappeared, while uninfected populations showed no decline. Laboratory studies showed that infected workers could not survive the winter cessation of immature ant production, leading to population-level collapse. The rapid spread of the pathogen eliminated density-dependent regulation. This study suggests that invasive species with high transmission rates of virulent pathogens may be susceptible to boom-bust dynamics and pathogen-driven local extinction.

The more favorable attitude of the citizens toward GMOs supports a new regulatory framework in the European Union

Mihael Cristin Ichim

Summary: The global cultivation of GM crops has significantly increased from 1996 to 2018. The European Union has seen a decrease in the cultivation and field trials of GM crops, while the concern among EU citizens about GMOs in the environment and food has also decreased.

COVID-19: Does the infectious inoculum dose-response relationship contribute to understanding heterogeneity in disease severity and transmission dynamics?

Wim Van Damme et al.

Summary: The dose of virus in the initial inoculum may be related to the severity of COVID-19 disease and its transmission potential, leading to severe local outbreaks and large-scale epidemics in certain contexts. Further research is needed to validate this hypothesis.

Predicting socio-economic and biodiversity impacts of invasive species: Red Imported Fire Ant in the developing western Pacific

Monica A. M. Gruber et al.

Summary: Effective biosecurity and pest management are crucial for sustainable development. The impacts of invasive ants, such as the Red Imported Fire Ant, could potentially cost developing Pacific Island Countries and Territories over USD 329 million annually, with agriculture being the most affected sector. The inability of countries with Least Developed Country status to respond to such incursions may result in even higher costs, posing significant threats to the region's ongoing development.

Towards rangatiratanga in pest management? Maori perspectives and frameworks on novel biotechnologies in conservation

Symon Palmer et al.

Summary: The New Zealand government aims to make the country predator-free by 2050 due to the threat introduced mammals pose to native birds. Research is exploring new technologies to achieve this, including controversial gene drive methods. Maori perspectives on genetic technologies emphasize autonomy and customary protocols, with a focus on consent processes based upon rangatiratanga. Recognition of rangatiratanga and tikanga could potentially transform conservation biology in New Zealand.
